GOMBINED OUDER-NULL AND' PRESS.

TO ALL VWHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Beit known that I, ELI WAUGAMAN, of Blairsville, in the county ofIndiana, and State of Pennsylvania, haveinvented a new 'and improvedCombinedCider-Mill and Press; and I do hereby declare that the followingis a full, clear, and exact'description thereof, which will enableothers skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings, 'forming part of this specification.

Figure 1 is a vertical -longitudinalsection of my invention, thesectionbeing taken through the line :e :t of iig. 2,'which latter is a topVview Yof' the same. I l i The objectof this invention is to 'combinegrinding and pressing-mechanism in the same general machine, wherebyapples and other fruit may be ground, and the juice of the sameexpressed immediately, by conveying the pomace or must from"thegrinding-mechanism tothe pressing-rollers, located at some point in theframe comfeniently below. p

Other devices, perfecting the whole, render this invention portable andeffective for the purpose designed.

A'A is the general frame of the machine. B isthe main drive-wheel, on ashaft, I), provided with a hand-r crank, J, or belt-pulley, when themachine isv to be driven by horse, steam, or water-power. The belt Gdrives a pullcy,D, on the shaft S, which shaft also bears anotherpulley, N, driving arbeit, Ov, on a pulley on the shaft d of thegrinding-roller a, which roller is located in the bottom opening of thechute E E, in which the fruit is placed. i v

The fruit is ground or crushed by means ofV teeth or asperities on theroller a, which reduces it to'the state of pomace or must as it is drawnin andpressed against the part Uof the chute, from whence it falls uponthe curved and perforated sheet of metal B., which allows the ljuice topass through upon the sloping box G, from whence it'lows oii through thegutter Q, forming part of the box, and is caught in a vessel placedunder'the endof the gutter.

'.lhepomace or must is conveyed upon the inclined and curved sheet Rtothe press-'rollers I; 6,' which are -provided withcog-teeth attheirends for'revolving together, and motion istransmitted to the upperroller by a belt, L, running'on the pulleys ,M and V, the former beingon the shaft P, and the latter on the shaft e of the upper roller by;The juice falls down upon the bottom of the box G, and mingles with thatfalling through the `A chute, H, conducts o the expressed pomace, whichpasses through the rollersan-,d-falls uponV the said chute, as shown inred.

The bot-tom of the boxGrextends under the lower roller, and is inclineddownward, thus conducting to the gutter Q the juice that passes 'down infront or behind the lower roller.

A plate, T, serves to partially enclose the upper roller b.

Y I is the y-wieel, in the shaft o f the roller a;

I cla-im as new, and'desre to secureby Letters Patent-- 1. T he rollersa, rb b, perforated sheet It, bei: G, chutes lE E and H, arrangedsubstantially as shown and described, within 'a frame, AA A, &c., andoperated in the manner substantially as herein set forth.

2. The arrangement, herein shown and described, upon the frame A, andwith relation to the grinding and pressing-mechanism of the drive-wheelB,vshafts P S, pulleys M D N V, and belts C L O, all-'as herein setforth.
